Message app, any way I can back it up and read messages on other than my iPod Touch (4g)
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah.
So I want to get my messages onto my computer (as in transfer convo's), but not willing to pay anything.
Because the messages are sent to my Apple ID (my email) is there some sort of way of accessing them ?
Frankly i think it's quite mean that I can't access my OWN messages on my computer with out having to pay anything, i don't know if this applies to iPod touch but i heard that people can download a program for them to read and transfer messages onto their computer for around $20
I also backed up my iPod, is there some place I can access them?
Or is Apple going to be extra and make me screen shoot my conversations to save me money?
Thanks
Very very unlikely
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Where can I find the Mac address on somewhere other than my iPod touch? Like the box?
Where can I find the Mac Address for my iPod Touch? Is it on the box somewhere? I lost my iPod a while ago, but I was told that if I had the Mac Adress, I would be able to retrace it. Help!
You were told incorrectly. Knowing the MAC address will not help you track your iPod. The only way to track your iPod (and then only under limited specific conditions) is to have turned on Find My iPhone on the iPod before it was lost.

I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and now it won't turn on at all, will i lose all of my data, for example my photos and messages etc? and is there any way you can back the phone up without having it switched on?
If you had previously been backing up to iCloud (or a computer with iTunes), you would possibly have a backup. That said, if you can't turn the phone on, you cannot create a backup of the device now. Sorry.

I tunes asked me if I wanted to back up my iphone. I thought itunes backed up my iphone data so i sad yes but it turned out itunes backed up my ipod datas on my iphone =( is there any way I can get my pictures and messages back? Thanks!
If you have a backup of your computer, here's the location of the iTunes backup folder:
Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

Hello everyone
I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
Hope you guys can help me!You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

I really want to update my iMovie, but I guess I need to update a lot of things first, which costs a lot of money. Is there any way I can just update iMovie and nothing else?
- If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3. To identify yourd see:
Identifying iPod models
- Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod. Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ -

I just downloaded a video in HD, but I found out after the download was over my computer doesn't play HD videos. Is there any way I can return the video and get the SD version, or upgrade my computer so it will play the HD video?
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3209
When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

. Can pictures get on your icloud other ways? Can something be put on there by someone other than yourself, liked public wifi or hacked? Got a big problem with some **** on an iPod and I am to knowledgeble about the ipod...thanks
You're not confusing this with a shared Photo Stream...?
Because the short answer is no, photos don't appear unless they were put there by someone with your Apple ID credentials. To rule out that possibility, change your Apple ID password by carefully following all these instructions:
iCloud: Change your iCloud account password
If you decide to change your password, and you also want to change your Apple ID, I recommend you do not concurrently change your Apple ID until sufficient time has passed and you are confident the password change has been effected on all your iOS devices. 24 hours ought to be more than enough.
It is not necessary to change your Apple ID unless it is an email address you no longer wish to use. -

There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Judy's iPhone 4". The network connection was reset.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
I am trying to update the iPhone for my grandmother, Judy, as I am leaving for Paris on Wednesday night and we want to have Facetime installed on her iPhone before then, so we can stay in contact with each other. It is the simplest way for this to happen but the program simply will not allow me to update her iPhone.
Is there any way to get past this error and update her iPhone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.Dear Jody..jone5
Good for you that can't update your iphone because I did it and my iphone dosen't work for example I can't download any app like Wecaht or Twitter..
Goodluck

Is there any way i can back up my mac with itunes?
im not really a big fanof icloud so i was wondering if theres any way of backing my mac up using itunes.
iTunes is not a backup application, it only backs up iOS devices as a part of it's sync features.
Time Machine is the tool Apple make for backing up to a local hard disk or Time Capsule.
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
You can also make your own copies onto other hard disks via apps like Carbon Copy Cloner
http://bombich.com/
Your options basically depend on what hard disks you have available & how much data you have to backup. -
I took a bunch of photos over the weekend before my phone got crushed. My iCloud hasn't backed up anything since before the weekend. My phone still turns on and charges, but the screen is completely smashed out so I can't enter my passcode to upload anything to itunes. My wifi connection is turned off as well. Is there any way that I can get the photos backed up to the iCloud before I restore everything onto my new phone?
There must be something amiss here. Your Camera Roll would only have everything up to the last backup, but Photo Stream should be current. From the iCloud Troubleshooting Support article:
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll are included in your iCloud backup and will download to your iOS device during the restore process.
Photos in your Photo Stream are already stored in iCloud, so they are not part of your backup. iCloud stores the photos uploaded to My Photo Stream for 30 days. To keep the photos in your photo streams on your device and make them part of your backups, save these photos to your Camera Roll or another album.
To view My Photo Stream or a shared photo stream, make sure the photo stream features are turned on in Settings > Photos & Camera.
To recover photos that originally synced to your device from your computer, sync your device using iTunes on a computer.
To restore Camera Roll photos to an iPhone or iPod touch, the iCloud backup must be from an iPhone or iPod touch. To restore Camera Roll photos to an iPad, the iCloud backup must be from an iPad.
Your device needs to be connected to Wifi to get the entire Photo Stream pushed back to it, and it can take some time. But there is no reason why those later photos should not be in your Photo Stream, if you were signed onto the same iCloud account when you were taking those photos, and if you had Photo Stream turned on....
Not sure what might be going on....
